I wanted to help student understand the beauty of math and make math less scary.

Tell us about your most memorable teaching experience

I had 3 really tuff students in my 7th period class. I really tried to built a relationship with these 3 students. Whether it was me treating them with respect, getting to know them more on a personal level, or my ability to know when I could push them more. But I become a safe haven for these 3 boys. I become the teacher they wanted to come too. They learned a lot of math that year. I also hope I helped them learn that teacher want them to succeed. We push them because we love them.

What would you do with the $25,000?

There are a lot of different places in the world I would love to see.
